WRESTLING
BOLT FOR WANGANUI CHEUNG VERSUS AM BEY. OPERA HOUSE TO-MORROW. A bright, colourful wrestling bout is anticipated at the Opera House to-mor-row night, when Wong Buk Cheung, of China, meets ALi Bey, of Turkey. Up to the present time, Bey has not been beaten in New Zealand. It is claimed that he knows every movement in the game, and is fast and clever. Cheung is a spectacular wrestler, and he produces plenty of action for the public. His defeats in the Dominion are ascribed by one critic to the fact that Cheung takes too many risks in giving the public entertainment. At any rate, it is anticipated that eight colourful rounds of wrestling should be seen. In the amateur bouts, several Taranaki men will be pitted against the local talent. Some hard tussles are anticipated. The referee will be Mr. George Bennett, of Wellington. Patrons are' advised that they should book their seats for there is a big demand on the seating capacity of the Opera House.
